Industrial Endoscope, DESKOP 4.3inch LCD Screen with 5.5mm Borescope 1080P HD Micro Inspection Camera Semi Rigid Cable for Auto Engine Inspect (11.5 FT)

The camera is easy to use and great picture!

So I have an old tractor with a mechanical fuel pump. A metal piece broke off it and went to the bottom of the engine block. Instead of dismantling the block to get this metal piece out I thought it would be best to get something like this device which not only had a small camera but also an attachment for a magnet to retrieve it.Worked like a charm! Saved me from a lot of work. Figured I could use this for other jobs like looking behind walls and plumbing as well so worth the cost I think. Just a couple of comments. The magnet is not powerful so don't expect to pick up anything heavy. It also disrupts the camera's view so keep that in mind if you use the attachment. Best to use a separate magnet and use this as a visual probe. Regardless, I was happy with the product.

I bought this camera to find some blocks in my plumbing pipes. I charged the camera to showing full capacity and then tried to feed it down my clean out pipe outside a bathroom. The cable started to curl up at the first turn after hitting against the pipe wall. I backed out & tried to twist the cable to make the turns. It butted against the side of the pipe and start to bunch up again. I tried this in 3 different pipes and got the same non-functional result. If the path is not straight and smooth then this camera cable is not functional at all. The fully charged battery went down to zero in less than a minute also, so I had to attach it to a power cord, which is not practical. The camera image is really clear unless debris gets stuck to the lens. Overall not good.

I bought this camera for my dad. I didn’t want him to download an app to get it going so I bought him the camera and display. He uses it when he works on cars. It came in and it was really easy to start using. If you want to record the video, that’s a whole different story. But if you are going to use it to retrieve something or see something and then get back to work, this is a great product.

I used the Borescope to examine the inside of a sump pump drain leading to the city sewer. When our neighbors large tree roots clog the 6-inch drain the water from the sump pump backs up into our window well, then the basement. Knowing when I need to route the pipe to remove roots is highly beneficial. I am sure I will find other uses for this video scope.

I was not successful in getting the camera to work at first, but then it suddenly came on. Picture is good. I am still trying to learn how to move the camera inside the space. I think that practice is essential for operating this tool.

The light on the camera is not bright enough to see any further than right in front of it. The resolution is not that good. It would be impossible to use the length of cable as it's not stiff enough to push down a pipe further than about 10ft without it curling up. I ended up taping a small flash light to the end and taping it to a stiff hose to slide it down the drain to look for a blockage.

ok picture quality, but the light is not bright enough to see a few inches beyond camera
